Most asbestos awareness training courses tick boxes rather than teach skills. We have trained more than 12,000 workers across the UK and seen the difference between certificate mills and real education.

How We Do Things Differently:

Trade-Specific Content

Electricians encounter different asbestos risks than plumbers or decorators. We run separate sessions because each trade needs different knowledge.

Electricians learn about 1970s consumer units and switchgear. Plumbers focus on pipe lagging systems. Builders understand which construction periods and building types present the highest risks.

Hands-On Learning

People remember what matters to them, not what they are shown on screen. Our courses include:

• Sample materials (safely encapsulated) that trainees can examine
• Real case studies from actual UK incidents
• Group exercises that build decision-making skills
• Practical identification tasks

Real Building Examples

Instead of generic stock photos, we use images from actual UK properties. Victorian school pipe work, 1960s housing artex, post-war factory floor tile materials your workers will actually encounter.

Training That Fits Your Business:

On-Site Delivery

Taking teams off-site disrupts operations. We deliver training at your premises, scheduled around your work patterns… Early mornings, lunch breaks or dedicated team days.

Refresher Training Worth Having

Annual refreshers often repeat identical content year after year. Ours introduce new case studies, recent regulatory changes and different scenarios. We build on what people learned previously rather than starting from scratch.

Group Benefits

Training entire teams together creates a consistent approach and shared understanding. Everyone develops the same risk assessment mindset and team members can discuss scenarios specific to their workplace.

What Makes Our Instructors Different

Our trainers have surveyed thousands of buildings, managed removal projects and investigated incidents. They understand asbestos from practical experience, not just textbooks.

When someone asks about unusual materials or tricky situations, our instructors can draw on real examples rather than theoretical knowledge.

Measuring Success

One construction client reduced asbestos-related project delays by 60% after switching to our training. The cost savings from avoiding work stoppages paid for the training within six months.

More importantly, their workers now spot potential issues before disturbing materials, rather than discovering problems after the fact.

Different Businesses, Different Needs

Small electrical contractors need different training from large construction companies. School maintenance teams face different risks than office fit-out specialists.

We discuss your specific situation and tailor content accordingly. This might involve site-specific materials, particular trade focuses, or integration with existing safety procedures.

Best Asbestos Awareness Training and Course – What to Look For

• Instructors with practical asbestos experience
• Trade-specific content relevant to your work
• Hands-on elements beyond just presentations
• Updated material reflecting current guidance
• Flexible delivery options
• Meaningful refresher training

Generic courses might be cheaper upfront, but the hidden costs emerge when poorly trained workers make expensive mistakes.

Getting Started

We have worked with everyone from sole traders to major contractors. Each situation needs a different approach.

The best asbestos awareness training and course providers understand that effective education prevents incidents rather than just satisfying paperwork requirements. That has been our approach for over 20 years, and it is why clients keep coming back.
